RIAA Smacked by DoS
nekid writes "ZDNet is reporting that the RIAA's website was hit by a denial-of-service (DoS) attack over the weekend, most likely in response to their endorsement of legislation that would give them permission to do the same to personal computers that are pirating music (see earlier article). Seems to me that they are killing themselves with bad public relations..." But it seems to me that they don't care, and are instead
banking on the ignorance of the bulk of the world.
RIAA has bad karma. What goes around, comes around.
They deserve it.
They didn't DOS them although that would likely be far worse. What they did do is DoS them.
Ah, so it's OK to bring ourselves down to their level? Thanks for clearing that up. An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.
Mature? This is war you twit. These morons have declared war on the digital citizens of the world and your response is like the British to the German invasion of Poland. Sometimes civilized will get you killed.
As for your own maturity, your syntax speaks volumes about your own "maturity." For example, why do you put quotation marks around "mob rule"? Perhaps there's something suspect about the term? As for "they'll go against congress with a 'see?", what in bloody Hell is that supposed to mean? Is this how "mature" folks speak? Not in my universe. And what in the world do stepping stones have to do with anything? You think you can just throw out some silly figure of speech in an attempt to make yourself look mature?
Congress already agrees. They've been bought and paid for to agree. This is about our so-called representatives representating anyone who will fill their trough with swill. "Mmmm...yum...yum...can we be in your next movie Mr. Hollywood man?" These political whores don't know the meaning of the term "rule of law," they left their maturity at the guard's desk, and they can't even conceive of the consequences of legalizing corporate funded hacker attacks, and you don't think it's "mature" for someone to give them a clue as to the consequences of their pinheaded actions? You are the one who needs to grow up.

Lets start 'blaming' DDoS attacks on the RIAA. Spoof 'em to trace back to the riaa.org's IP address (208.225.90.120)
:-)
Then they'll blame the RIAA for bringing down or throttling response time on sites that belong to the government, to corporations and to individuals that just got in your face.
Hey, they wanna be legally entitled to do DoS attacks, so lets abuse the privilege. (The RIAA will be so deep in shit in a month that they'll never recover the legal fees unless they try to charge $50/CD [like, THAT'll make 'em REAL popular,] so the only recourse will be in Chapter 11 and disappearance.
EVERYBODY IS EQUAL UNDER THE LAW. You don't start asking for dispensations.
The alternative is the totalitarian abuses of impotent potentates like Iraq's Saddam Hussein.
Will somebody hurry up and get Empress Rosen's head out of her ass-hole.
